Worldly Concern

Famous quotes containing the words worldly and/or concern:

    The weariest and most loathèd worldly life,
    That age, ache, penury and imprisonment
    Can lay on nature is a paradise,
    To what we fear of death.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The pleasure of leaving home, care-free, with no concern but to enjoy, has also as a pendant the pleasure of coming back to the old hearthstone, the home to which, however traveled, the heart still fondly turns, ignoring the burden of its anxieties and cares.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
